A light-emitting device includes: a base having an upper surface; a plurality of light sources located on the upper surface of the base; a first lenticular lens sheet disposed to face the base with the light sources between the first lenticular lens sheet and the base, the first lenticular lens sheet including a first plurality of grooves; a half mirror located on an upper surface side of the first lenticular lens sheet; and a second lenticular lens sheet disposed on an upper surface side of the half mirror, wherein the second lenticular lens sheet includes a second plurality of grooves extending in a direction that intersects a direction in which the first plurality of grooves of the first lenticular lens sheet extend.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A light-emitting device comprising: a base having an upper surface; a plurality of light sources located on the upper surface of the base; a first lenticular lens sheet disposed to face the base with the light sources between the first lenticular lens sheet and the base, the first lenticular lens sheet including a first plurality of grooves; a half mirror located on an upper surface side of the first lenticular lens sheet; and a second lenticular lens sheet disposed on an upper surface side of the half mirror, wherein the second lenticular lens sheet includes a second plurality of grooves extending in a direction that intersects a direction in which the first plurality of grooves of the first lenticular lens sheet extend.
2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the direction in which the first plurality of grooves of the first lenticular lens sheet extend and the direction in which the second plurality of grooves of the second lenticular lens sheet extend are at an angle of 85° or more and 95° or less.
3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the base is light-reflective.
4. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a light-diffusing plate disposed at an upper surface side of the second lenticular lens sheet.
5. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the half mirror includes a dielectric multi-layer film.
6. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a reflectance characteristic of the half mirror in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the half mirror is such that a wavelength band at a longer wavelength side with respect to a peak emission wavelength of the light source is wider than a wavelength band at a shorter wavelength side with respect to the peak emission wavelength of the light source.
7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising: a plurality of cover members each covering a corresponding one of the light sources; wherein the cover member has a depression or a through hole directly above the light source; and wherein a bottom surface width of the cover member is less than a maximum width of the cover member.
8. The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein a height of the cover member along an optical axis of light emitted from the light source is less than the maximum width of the covering member.
9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein: each of the light sources comprises: at least one light-emitting element, and a wavelength conversion member covering the at least one light-emitting element.
10. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein an interval between the first lenticular lens sheet and the base is less than or equal to 0.25 times a pitch between adjacent ones of the light sources.
